Fig. 3. Microbial composition of broilers’ cecal samples. Relative abundances of major phyla (A), classes (B), and orders (C) are depicted in stacked bar plots.

Treatments are as follows: SSPP, solubles from shredded, steam-exploded pine particles; 0% SSPP, chicks fed with the basal diet; 0.1% SSPP, chicks fed with the basal diet supplemented with 0.1% of SSPP; 0.4% SSPP, chicks fed with the basal diet supplemented with 0.4% of SSPP.
